Subsea 7 is looking for Lead and Senior Project Engineers to actively support and deliver the engineering requirements of the project. Successful candidates will be subsea construction/ IRM engineering professionals with a proven track record in this type of work. They should be able to demonstrate their ability to work on multiple works scopes, delivering and controlling engineering, installation procedures and HIRAs, through to supporting the offshore phase and close out of As Built documentation.
As the project has scope for the delivery of field development projects, candidates should also be able to demonstrate knowledge of the installation of subsea structures, flexible flow lines and umbilicals.
This project would be ideal for those engineers who enjoy working in a dynamic environment, where they can demonstrate their ability to react to and manage change and get the best out of people by working efficiently and learning from past project experience.
The DSVi Project
The DSVi Project is one of Subsea7's significant North Sea Inspection Repair and Maintenance project frame agreements. DSVi supports the IRM requirements of five client's through the effective and efficient operation of one of our high performing DSV's. Engineering input to support the operation of this vessel is provided by the DSVi project engineering team.
IRM work represents the majority of the engineering performed, although the project may act as a platform to exercise client CAPEX work which has involved the procurement, design management, installation and commissioning of permanent works for a number of projects.
For those wishing to build on their subsea engineering knowledge, this role will be client facing, requiring the engineer to engage with the client on a regular basis and manage their expectations. Candidates should expect to work in a project where efficiency in the office and offshore is paramount.
Working within the DSVi project team will enable engineers to build on their existing experience portfolios, and in this respect could offer an edge to those wishing to differentiate their careers from others.
